the ABIT's Boards got alot of Bios mods...(other bioses special for overclock and FSB) the epox got nothin good i know, does anyone know some good bios for the EPoX 8RDAxx? ATM i got the latest bios from EPoX on 8rda3i...
getting 235FSB max...(not bad , but i think it can do more than that and i have samsung TCCC so i want atleast 250FSB on this board , and i know he can!)
P.S : i got an AXP 2000+ AIUHB running at 235X10 24\7 rock stable, memory timings are 11-3-3-2.5 @ 2.9VDIMM , 1.90Vcore , VDD is on 1.8V(cpu max is 2550MHZ 212X12)
I've toyed with the idea of modding a bios myself to get a 2T command rate, neither my 8RDA+ or 8RGA+ can get over 200MHz FSb with 2x512:(. The 8RDA+ was Prime stable at 235MHz with 2x256 with crappy chipset cooling, so I know I could be going faster.
Tictac used to have a link in his sig to a forum with some good info on bios modding, seems to have gone now though. Where's it gone Tictac?:(

Please man, there is a WAY more appropriate section for this thread into the Xtreme Mod sub-sections.
Although, Welcome to XtremeSystems. Hope you stay:).
And there isnt really much BIOSes that will help the max overclock, most will only unhidden some features that may help you increase your OC..... But Epox isnt very popular, so most BIOS modders didnt bother to mod a BIOS in their very heavy schedules... (I know a few of them, and they are all very busy guys)

Search under my name (***DEIMOS***), I posted my recent oveerclocking with Epox 8RDA+. As best as I recall,
FSB
222: 2.5-3-3-11
234: 2.5-4-4-11
247: using 60% memory divider...
this is where I was stuck at.. 247 SuperPi and Memtest stable, but anymore and NO POST. I also have Samsung TCCC, 1 x 512MB.
Perhaps you might try changing the CPUCLK jumper (to the left of the SocketA.. I got ~10Mhz more OC).

I havent had anything to do with epox for ages.
Firstly 8RDA/+ is a totaly different bios to 8RDA3/+
There are bios avalable for 8RDA+ with 1T cmd, check www.aoaforums.com and www.aoafiles.com for more info.
As for the 8RDA3+ its not a good overclocking board IMO.
You cannot add 1T option to epox bios as a recompile is required.
Thanks Holst! There's a 2T bios at the AOA forums, will have to give that a go later for sure!:woot:
Now all I need is a vmod to start really :slapass: my CH5....

I'm moving your thread to the Xtreme BIOS (subsection of Xtreme MODS) section, because it doesnt really belong in the xtreme overclocking section wich is for xtreme overclocks only.
Please post in the acccurate section the next time.
If you dont know what section to post in then please contact any of us mods and we will help you
